Beskrivelse
Full Disclosure is a sequel to her first book Hiding in Plain Sight released in June '21... a complete 180 from the struggles she endured through the bulk of her life described in the first memoir. This is a renewal and celebration of life after being forced into retirement three years ago. Theresa shares some of the most intimate details including her difficult decision to take the retirement package amid Covid-19. After a complex and stressful 2020, Theresa offers insight into some of her hardest times, but now with her characteristic honesty and unabashed authentic self, she shares her complete victory and liberation. Although the intended audience is directed at the LGBTQ+ community and their family and friends, the challenges she confronts and how she overcomes them and sheds light on what many go through in their journeys as Transgender or non-binary people. Full Disclosure, the follow-up book, covers the time of retirement pending through separation of employment that began her liberation and celebration she experienced on July 30, 2021, and over the next three years. Theresa focuses on clarifying her challenges, how she approached them, and ultimately achieved victory over almost all of them. Most chapters include supplemental takeaways highlighting what readers can use most readily in the challenges the community faces. It's no secret that the LGBTQ+ community is the favorite recipient of oppressive legislation and a seemingly endless attempt at erasing them. Theresa demonstrates a variety of situations in which she is completely open and unabashed revealing exactly who she is and has always been. She offers concrete advice on how to respond to some of the most common challenges the community faces. But she is also open and completely real demonstrating abundant humility and grace in nearly every situation. Where there is never an attempt at selling religion, Theresa does provide ample situations where her faith has proven more than once to give her divine guidance and salvation (from herself). She provides great direction and clarification of how her faith has helped her through even the most difficult challenges. And at the same time being critical of situations where the church has left her completely abandoned. Some of her deepest insights share her challenges of name changes, adjustments from physical changes over time, and family and work relationships that changed, improved dramatically, or simply disappeared completely. And lives her life essentially by herself never putting herself 'alone' as her faith and a handful of BFFs have demonstrated to her what 'family' and real love is. Theresa has chosen to blaze a path where there hasn't always been one during her life. She has taken what some might label as years of turmoil and concentrated on pulling out key opportunities on which we can all be inspired. This entire window into Teri's journey is just one way she is reaching out from the inside and will continue helping others find ways to write their story.
